[PATCH v3 0/6] Add --dhcp-boot and --dhcp-opt options

[Anshu Kumari]

This series adds support for custom DHCP options in passt, enabling
network boot (PXE/UEFI HTTP Boot) and arbitrary DHCP option injection.

Two new command-line flags are introduced:

  --dhcp-boot URL    Sets the boot file URL (DHCP option 67 and the
                     legacy boot file field)

  --dhcp-opt CODE,VALUE
                     Sets any DHCP option by numeric code, with
                     type-aware parsing per RFC 2132

The DHCP reply path is extended with option overload support (RFC 2132
option 52), allowing options to overflow into the file and sname fields
when the standard options area is full.

Anshu Kumari (6):
  conf: Add --dhcp-opt command-line option
  conf: Add --dhcp-boot command-line option
  dhcp: Add option type table and value parser
  dhcp: Refactor fill_one() to operate on a generic buffer
  dhcp: Add option overload
  doc: Add --dhcp-boot and --dhcp-opt to man page

[PATCH v3 1/6] conf: Add --dhcp-opt command-line option

[Anshu Kumari]

Introduce the --dhcp-opt flag that allows setting arbitrary DHCP
options from command-line in the form of [Option CODE,VALUE].
This patch adds the option storage in struct ctx and CLI parsing;
the type-aware value parser and DHCP reply injection follow
in subsequent patches.

v3:
  - Added dhcp_add_option() helper in dhcp.c for storing options with
    duplicate-code detection.
  - case 33 now calls dhcp_add_option() instead of inline storage.

v2:
  - Added kerneldoc for @custom_opts, @custom_opts.code, @custom_opts.str, and @custom_opts_count in struct ctx
  - Removed len and val[255] fields from struct (moved to patch 3)
  - Removed braces from case 33, moved declarations (optcode, comma, end) to function scope
  - Renamed code → optcode to follow function-scope convention.

[PATCH v3 2/6] conf: Add --dhcp-boot command-line option

[Anshu Kumari]

Introduce the --dhcp-boot flag that sets the boot file URL for
network boot specially for ipxe. This patch adds the option
storage and CLI parsing.

Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=192
Signed-off-by: Anshu Kumari <anskuma@redhat.com>

v3:
  - case 32 now calls dhcp_add_option(c, 67, optarg).
  - Handles duplicate codes: --dhcp-boot and --dhcp-opt 67 coexist
    correctly, last value wins.

v2:
  - Removed separate dhcp_boot[PATH_MAX] field — --dhcp-boot foo now stores into custom_opts[] as code 67 (same as --dhcp-opt 67,foo)

[PATCH v3 3/6] dhcp: Add option type table and value parser

[Anshu Kumari]

Add an RFC 2132 type lookup table mapping DHCP option codes to their
expected value formats, and a dhcp_opt_parse() function that converts
CLI string values into their binary wire representation.

Wire dhcp_opt_parse() into dhcp_add_option() so that values are
validated and encoded at configuration time.

Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=192
Signed-off-by: Anshu Kumari <anskuma@redhat.com>
---
v3:
  - Replaced DHCP_OPT_INTEGER with separate DHCP_OPT_INT8/INT16/INT32
    enums, removed dhcp_opt_int_width[] array.
  - Shared logic between DHCP_OPT_IPV4 and DHCP_OPT_IPV4_LIST — parse
    both as list, error if >1 in single case.
  - Added errno = 0 before strtoul() and check after.
  - Fixed range check: 1ULL << (width * 8) for all widths including
    width==4.
  - strncpy → memcpy for DHCP_OPT_STR.
  - Moved enum to dhcp.c since not used in other files.
  - Removed options 55, 61 (client-only), 119 (DNS compression, use
    --dhcp-search instead), 33 (IP pairs not supported).
  - DHCP_OPT_PARSE_BUF 1024 → char tmp[256].
  - Upgraded dhcp_add_option() to call dhcp_opt_parse() and populate
    val[]/len.
  - Aligned array entries for readability.
  - Added tab after @DHCP_OPT_IPV4_LIST: in kerneldoc.
  - Reject empty value strings before parsing
  - Reject leading/trailing/consecutive commas in IP list values.

v2:
  - Replaced struct lookup table + dhcp_opt_type_lookup() function with flat dhcp_opt_types[256] array indexed by code.
  - Consolidated DHCP_OPT_UINT8/UINT16/UINT32 into single DHCP_OPT_INTEGER with dhcp_opt_int_width[256] table.
  - Dropped DHCP_OPT_ROUTES / option 121 entirely.
  - Added kerneldoc for enum dhcp_opt_type values.
  - Removed curly braces from switch cases, declarations before switch.
  - Added newlines before return statements.
  - Changed IP list delimiter from space to comma (--dhcp-opt 6,1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8).
  - Defined DHCP_OPT_PARSE_BUF constant for bare 1024.
  - Added len and val[255] fields to struct here (moved from patch 1).
  - Added kerneldoc for @custom_opts.len and @custom_opts.val.
  - Wired dhcp_opt_parse() into case 32 (--dhcp-boot) to populate val/len.

[PATCH v3 4/6] dhcp: Refactor fill_one() to operate on a generic buffer

[Anshu Kumari]

Change fill_one() to accept a buffer pointer and capacity instead of
a struct msg pointer.  This is a pure refactor with no behavior change,
preparing for option overload support where fill_one() will also write
into the file and sname fields.

Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=192
Signed-off-by: Anshu Kumari <anskuma@redhat.com>

v3:
  - Restored removed comments: "If we don't have space to write the
    option, then just skip" and "Move to option".

v2:
  - Renamed parameter cap → size.

[PATCH v3 5/6] dhcp: Add option overload

[Anshu Kumari]

A user can enter lots of options in command-line which may not fit in
existing buffer, So when the options field is full, overflow remaining
DHCP options into the file and sname fields per RFC 2132 option 52.

Also, when the file field is not used for overload, copy the boot
file URL there directly for legacy PXE clients.

---
v3:
  - Added RFC 2132 Section 9.3 reference comment on overload
    constants.
  - Use ARRAY_SIZE(opts) instead of raw 255 in fill_overflow().
  - Swapped overflow order: try sname (64 bytes) first, then file
    (128 bytes) — better packing and keeps file field available for
    boot file name.
  - Removed '&' from &reply.file.
  - Removed '+1' from memcpy — reply.file already zeroed.
  - opt_set_dns_search() max_len: OPT_MAX - 3 instead of
    sizeof(m->o).

v2:
  - Added #define DHCP_OVERLOAD_FILE and #define DHCP_OVERLOAD_SNAME constants
  - Added comment documenting space reservation: /* Reserve 3 bytes for option 52 */
  - Fixed DNS search length: sizeof(m->o) only, not combined with file+sname
  - Removed dhcp_boot references — reply.file copy now reads from opts[67]
  - Used DHCP_OVERLOAD_FILE constant in reply.file guard

Sorry, missed it on the previous round of review.  This strtoul() also
needs the errno = 0 / check errno trick to catch the handful of error
cases that end != comma won't.

Thanks for the detailed changelogs, by the way.  I know these are a

I'm still a bit unsure if we want to allow user modification of the
options, like this one, which we already manage ourselves.

The arbitrary 256 byte buffer limit here isn't great.  The string
encoding of an IPv4 address can be nearly 4 times as long as the
binary encoding, so we could potentially hit this with a longish, but
not ridiculous address list.

One way to avoid that would be to avoid using strtok_r() which relies
in in-place modifying the input.  Instead you'd need to repeatedly
find the length of the next chunk with strchr() or strcpsn(), then
extract each one into a tmp of length INET_ADDRSTRLEN to call
inet_pton().  On the plus side, that should naturally deal with the
case of extraneous commas (it would show up as an empth entry), rather
than requiring an explicit check at the top.

You could make this check before the inet_pton(), then do the
conversion directly into buf, avoiding the addr temporary.

Do you need to include the terminating \0 here?  If so you'll need
slen + 1.

Now that this parsing and adding code is all in dhcp.c, could we parse
the options directly into the existing opts[] global, rather than
requiring both the string and parsed forms in c->custom_opts?

For the code proper.  The commit message is perhaps buries the lede in
that in that this is also the patch that actually starts putting the
custom_opts into DHCP replies.  Mind you, that would change if we
parsed directly into opts[], which might be nicer anyway.

Note that as a general rule, I think it's preferable to include
manpage / doc updates with the patch that implements the code change.
That can get fuzzy when the implementation is across several patches
of course.  In any case, not worth reworking here.

These options should probably also be mentioned in usage() output
(though with a much briefer description).
